Hello folks I'm a Canadian blackjack player who has a habit of recording my wins and losses for the past 3 years. First off I'm wondering if anyone else does this?
I'm actually sitting at a win-loss ratio of over 70%.

My background in blackjack is that I can count down a deck using hi-lo in less than 25secs, and am able to shuffle track and cut to aces & 10's when at a shoe game.

Unfortunately in the area I live the only games available are 6deck games or shuffle machines.

I play with a partner who sits with me and he counts while I play the part of the big whale.

Now if you are still with me I may sound like a regular card counter but I'm not. In fact, with all the literature that I've read regarding card counting I know that my method of play doesn't make sense as to why I can pull off a win ratio that is comparable or even higher than the typical card counter.

Currently I am on a $60,000 dollar run (actually $59,700) in a matter of only 8 weeks with a win loss ratio of 38 winning sessions to 5 lossing sessions.

Now...the reason why I am posting this is because I am wondering if anyone else just plays the "Hit and Run" game in combination with card counting.

In fact, I not only do this with shoe games but also with shuffle machines. I pick a table where the shuffle machines have failed to shuffle properly and where the low's versus highs are clumped together respectively and bet accordingly.

Has anyone else here thought of or gotten up and left after only 1/4 of a shoe, or less than ten minutes after sitting down?

As soon as I'm up at least $500 I've already put that pink into my pocket and whatever I've got left I play very aggressively with...so for the most part I always go home with money. In fact...put it this way...if it wasn't for my wife freaking out about me going to the casino everyday I would settle down to making a safe $200/day five days a week.

Don't card counters usually sit and play for hours to take advantage of the fact that "time is on our side"?

Believe me when I say that I do feel a bit of apprehension with my current method of play of the past 3yrs...because I keep feeling like my winning percentage is artificial and just "luck".

The only thing that makes me think otherwise is the record itself.

Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.
